Which scrapers are the best ones to scrape (covers, fanart, images, info) all kind of music files, e.g. flac, mp3, ape, wav?

As long as your music is tagged correctly (I use Picard) XBMC will scrape all the images perfectly. At least that's always been my experience, but I'm meticulous with my tagging.

Thank you, clubwerks,
Hmmm, but wav files do not have such tags, I guess, not sure about ape. So it would not be enough to have a naming scheme of the album folder like "Kid Creole & The Coconuts - Tropical Gangsters (1982)".
I will have a look at Picard.
Many thanks again.
I see, it is a tagger, not a music scraper...well.

I think Kodi can read ID3v2 tags in WAV files.

And you can tag ape files.

Alright, that sounds very good, thank you very much.
I am wondering which music scraper could be good to automatically scrape all of my albums.
Many thanks again.

Currently there is no Music Scraper, however, there is an alpha Music Scraper call Symphony, see this post...http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=159323&page=13.

You can use the "universal artist scraper" or the "audioDB" scraper (think i did have better results with the UAS.)
You have to do the scraping twice, after adding your Music to the DB. Once in artist view (contextmenu) and once in Album view (contextmenu).
Once this is done, you can toggle the setting "download additional information during updates" (system -> Music -> Library). To automate the scraping prozess during library refreshes.

No notification e-mails for the posts before, sorry.
I use the UAS. It works well, but scraping lasts very long like it does with the movie scraper.
Many thanks.
